Rapid launch of 20 B-52 StratofortressNuclearBombers!!
MINOT AIRFORCEBASE, N.D. -- TeamMinot members participated in an annual exercise in support of the U.S.Strategic Command known as GlobalThunder17, Oct. 24 – 31.
Global Thunder 17 is a command and control exercise designed to train Department of Defense forces and assess joint operational readiness across all mission areas.
Since its inception in 2005, the USSTRATCOM exercise has provided realistic training for nuclear command, control and communication operations. The exercise included allied forces participation to help improve the ability to operate and integrate successfully.
Global Thunder 17 focused on generating strategic deterrent forces, training sorties and tanker movements as well as the deployment of intelligence assets.
“The 5th Bomb Wing's role in Global Thunder was to generate aircraft from normal day-to-day operations to nuclear capable alert status,” said Maj. Paul Goossen, 5th Bomb Wing Inspector General. “The bomber, and particularly the B-52, represents the most visible signaling platform in the U.S. nuclear force structure. So our role is really to provide flexibility to national decision-makers.”
“Over 1,600 Airmen here at Minot were on alert status for the week-and-a-half long exercise working in our respective specialties… from crew chiefs conducting pre-flight checks, weapons loadmasters loading the aircraft, to munitions Airmen,” said Chief Master Sgt. Charles Miller, 5th Maintenance Squadron superintendent.
Squadrons here devoted nearly 60 days of preparation to ensure the success of the exercise.
“This is a visible demonstration to our allies and adversaries that we can deter and assure through the use of global strike, if necessary,” Miller said.
Adm. Cecil D. Haney, USSTRATCOM commander, emphasized that the main goal for exercise GT17 was to set the conditions for strategic deterrence against a variety of threats to exercise all USSTRATCOM missions.
“Testing our forces through a range of challenging scenarios validates the safety, security, effectiveness and readiness of the strategic deterrent we provide the nation,” Haney said. “U.S. Strategic Command forces are on watch 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing the credible deterrent capable of convincing potential adversaries that they cannot escalate their way out of a failed conflict, restraint is a better option.”
The exercise concluded with the 5th Bomb Wing successfully launching 20 B-52Hs.
“For the 5th Bomb Wing, Global Thunder 17 was a huge success. Any time you can succeed so greatly in such a difficult test, it's a boost to both unit and personal morale,” Goossen said. “I think people are going to be talking about the 5th Bomb Wing's success in GT 17 for a long time.”

Rooted in new wave and 1960s rock and roll, the group later covered many genres ranging from post-punk to pop rock. The "guy vs. gals" vocals of Schneider, Pierson, and Wilson, sometimes used in call and response style ("Strobe Light," "Private Idaho", and "Good Stuff"), are a trademark. The group is also notable for almost all of its members being openly gay (Cindy Wilson is the lone exception).

Boeing B-52 Stratofortress

The Boeing B-52 Stratofortress is a long-range, subsonic, jet-poweredstrategic bomber. The B-52 was designed and built by Boeing, which has continued to provide support and upgrades. It has been operated by the United States Air Force (USAF) since the 1950s. The bomber is capable of carrying up to 70,000 pounds (32,000kg) of weapons, and has a typical combat range of more than 8,800 miles (14,080km) with aerial refueling.

Beginning with the successful contract bid in June 1946, the B-52 design evolved from a straight wing aircraft powered by six turboprop engines to the final prototype YB-52 with eight turbojet engines and swept wings. The B-52 took its maiden flight in April 1952. Built to carry nuclear weapons for Cold War-era deterrence missions, the B-52 Stratofortress replaced the Convair B-36. A veteran of several wars, the B-52 has dropped only conventional munitions in combat. The B-52's official name Stratofortress is rarely used; informally, the aircraft has become commonly referred to as the BUFF (Big Ugly Fat Fucker).

United States military aircraft designation systems

The United States Military Aircraft Designation System was first designed in 1919 when the US Army's Aeronautical Division became the United States Army Air Service. Before this aircraft were put into service under their manufacturers' designations.

History

United States Army Air Service 1919 to 1924

During this period Type Designations used by the United States Army Air Service were allotted, using two or three letters, which were an abbreviation of the aircraft's purpose. Examples include GA for Ground Attack aircraft; NO for Night Observation aircraft and NBS for Night Bombardment, Short Distance aircraft.

Music video

A music video or song video is a short film integrating a song and imagery, produced for promotional or artistic purposes. Modern music videos are primarily made and used as a marketing device intended to promote the sale of music recordings. There are also cases where songs are used in tie in marketing campaigns that allow them to become more than just a song. Tie ins and merchandising could be used in toys are marketing campaigns for food and other products. Although the origins of music videos date back to musical short films that first appeared in the 1920s, they came into prominence in the 1980s when MTV based their format around the medium. Prior to the 1980s, these works were described by various terms including "illustrated song", "filmed insert", "promotional (promo) film", "promotional clip", "promotional video", "song video", "song clip" or "film clip". Since the creation and increased popularity of YouTube, mainstream artists now promote new music videos by releasing trailers of short promos on the site for their upcoming song and music video. Consequentially, YouTube has been converted into a social media platform for celebrities and artists to market themselves to their fans and audiences.

"Rock Lobster" was the band's first single to appear on the Billboard Hot 100, where it reached No. 56. A major hit in Canada, the single went all the way to No. 1 in the RPM national singles chart. Its follow-up was "Private Idaho," in October 1980, which reached No. 74 in the US. It was well received by critics and was placed at No. 147 on Rolling Stone's list of the "500 Greatest Songs of All Time".

Composition and themes

The DB Records single version lasts 4'37" and is rawer and faster than the 1979 Warner single version. It has, however, almost the same lyrics of the second version, just including some extra lines in the listing of marine animals. The 1979 single version itself is an edit from the album version released in 1979, which lasts about seven minutes and contains an extra verse.

The B-52 Stratofortress first flew in 1952 and ended its production run in 1962, so the 76 B-52Hs in Air Force service are older than nearly anyone flying them. Trump is literally accurate in stating that “your grandfather” may have flown the plane, in that there is at least one family with three generations of B-52 crew members.
Such a storied plane is worthy of its own profile—how many planes can claim their own hairstyle, 1970s rock band, and cocktail?—but we’ll stick to the questions of its current relevance for now.

B52s Kate Pierson Interview | The US Festival of 1982

Katie Pierson of the B52s recalls some of her most memorable moments at the US Festival of 1982.
"I do think that the US Festival, the "dust festival" was very organized, the coming in on the helicopters, everyone had a little dressing room, the stage and the people, it was quite, you know, an exciting event. Bigger than...we had ever done. The sound was great, so it really laid the groundwork for the kind of high mark of festivals so I remember it being a very special performance. We were probably nervous too and it added to the, you know intensity." - Kate Pierson

The B-52s are remembered for their 1950s style and quirky songs. Forming in Athens, Georgia, in 1976, they found mainstream success with crossover hits like “Rock Lobster” and “Love Shack.” In 1985, nearly 10 years after they started playing music, the band experienced tragedy when bassist Ricky Wilson succumbed to AIDS.

Katie Pierson of the B52s recalls some of her most memorable moments at the US Festival of 1982.
"I do think that the US Festival, the "dust festival" was very organized, the coming in on the helicopters, everyone had a little dressing room, the stage and the people, it was quite, you know, an exciting event. Bigger than...we had ever done. The sound was great, so it really laid the groundwork for the kind of high mark of festivals so I remember it being a very special performance. We were probably nervous too and it added to the, you know intensity." - Kate Pierson

Rapid launch of 20 B-52 StratofortressNuclearBombers!!
MINOT AIRFORCEBASE, N.D. -- TeamMinot members participated in an annual exercise in support of the U.S.Strategic Command known as GlobalThunder17, Oct. 24 – 31.
Global Thunder 17 is a command and control exercise designed to train Department of Defense forces and assess joint operational readiness across all mission areas.
Since its inception in 2005, the USSTRATCOM exercise has provided realistic training for nuclear command, control and communication operations. The exercise included allied forces participation to help improve the ability to operate and integrate successfully.
Global Thunder 17 focused on generating strategic deterrent forces, training sorties and tanker movements as well as the deployment of intelligence assets.
“The 5th Bomb Wing's role in Global Thunder was to generate aircraft from normal day-to-day operations to nuclear capable alert status,” said Maj. Paul Goossen, 5th Bomb Wing Inspector General. “The bomber, and particularly the B-52, represents the most visible signaling platform in the U.S. nuclear force structure. So our role is really to provide flexibility to national decision-makers.”
“Over 1,600 Airmen here at Minot were on alert status for the week-and-a-half long exercise working in our respective specialties… from crew chiefs conducting pre-flight checks, weapons loadmasters loading the aircraft, to munitions Airmen,” said Chief Master Sgt. Charles Miller, 5th Maintenance Squadron superintendent.
Squadrons here devoted nearly 60 days of preparation to ensure the success of the exercise.
“This is a visible demonstration to our allies and adversaries that we can deter and assure through the use of global strike, if necessary,” Miller said.
Adm. Cecil D. Haney, USSTRATCOM commander, emphasized that the main goal for exercise GT17 was to set the conditions for strategic deterrence against a variety of threats to exercise all USSTRATCOM missions.
“Testing our forces through a range of challenging scenarios validates the safety, security, effectiveness and readiness of the strategic deterrent we provide the nation,” Haney said. “U.S. Strategic Command forces are on watch 24 hours a day, seven days a week, providing the credible deterrent capable of convincing potential adversaries that they cannot escalate their way out of a failed conflict, restraint is a better option.”
The exercise concluded with the 5th Bomb Wing successfully launching 20 B-52Hs.
“For the 5th Bomb Wing, Global Thunder 17 was a huge success. Any time you can succeed so greatly in such a difficult test, it's a boost to both unit and personal morale,” Goossen said. “I think people are going to be talking about the 5th Bomb Wing's success in GT 17 for a long time.”

The B-52's - Private Idaho (1980)

American group The B-52's were very popular in Australia throughout the 80s & early 90s.
...

Why America's Enemies Still Fear the B-52 Bomber?

Why America's Enemies Still Fear the B-52 Bomber?
The B-52 Stratofortress first flew in 1952 and ended its production run in 1962, so the 76 B-52Hs in Air Force service are older than nearly anyone flying them. Trump is literally accurate in stating that “your grandfather” may have flown the plane, in that there is at least one family with three generations of B-52 crew members.
Such a storied plane is worthy of its own profile—how many planes can claim their own hairstyle, 1970s rock band, and cocktail?—but we’ll stick to the questions of its current relevance for now.
